A disposable wearing article improved so that a skin-contactable sheet lying on the side of a chassis facing a wearer's body may move in a longitudinal direction or transverse direction relative to the chassis. A chassis 10 forming a disposable urine absorbent pad 1 illustrated herein as an example of the disposable wearing articles includes an inner sheet 17, an outer sheet 18 and a liquid-absorbent panel 19 interposed between these inner and outer sheets 17, 18. The absorbent panel 19 lies at least in the crotch region 13 and extends into the front and rear waist regions 11, 12 in the longitudinal direction Y. In the rear waist region 12, a skin-contactable sheet 30 adapted to come in contact with the wearer's skin is attached to the inner surface of the inner sheet 17. The skin-contactable sheet 30 has front and rear ends 31, 32 extending in the transverse direction X and lateral portions 33 extending in the longitudinal direction Y and only the lateral portions 33 are bonded to the inner sheet 17 by bonding means 34 such as hot melt adhesives.

[Problems] To provide an absorbent article that is favorably effective in body pressure dispersion [Means for Solving Problems] An absorbent article X1 having an absorber 3 in which plurality of absorbent cores 3A, 3B each including a fiber base material 31 and an absorbent polymer 30 are layered in such a manner that the polymer 30 swells by gelation due to liquid absorption and expands up to one surface F of the fiber base material 31 through inter-fiber gaps thereby to form a polymer layer 40 on the fiber base material surface F while the absorbent polymer expanding surfaces of adjacent absorbent cores are opposed to each other.

Die plastisch verformbare Kompresse besteht aus einer Hülle (2), die einen Quellkörper (1) umschliesst. Der Quellkörper (1) besteht aus einem superabsorbierenden Material, welches grosse Flüssigkeitsmengen speichern und abgeben kann. Die Hülle (2) besteht aus einem plastisch verform- und dehnbaren Gewirk resp. Gestrick. Somit zeichnet sich die Kompresse durch sehr grosse Weichheit und Anschmiegsamkeit aus und passt sich der Wunde gut an, wodurch Feuchtkammern verhindert werden. Die nichtelastische Verformbarkeit der Hülle ermöglicht es, der Kompresse eine beliebige, dem Wundprofil angepasste Form zu verleihen, welche während der gesamten Dauer der Applikation beibehalten wird. Die Wahl des geeigneten Hüllenmaterials stellt mit dem gelartigen Quellkörper zusammen sicher, dass ein Verkleben der Kompresse mit der Wunde nicht auftritt.

57 A device for the prophylaxis of pressure sores comprising a liquid retained within a flexible elastomeric envelope is described. The body contacting surface of the device is a film which has a moisture vapour transmission rate of greater than 300g/m 2 /24 hr at 37° C at 100 % to 10 % relative humidity difference. The liquid is a viscous liquid which absorbs moisture vapour. The device may be formed in the shape of the letter «U» which makes the device particularly useful for application to the sacrum. A device in which the liquid retained within the flexible envelope is a mixture of a viscous liquid and a hygroscopic material is also described. In a preferred form the body contacting surface carries a layer of adhesive whereby the device may be adhered to the patient in use.

A medical dressing is provided. The dressing has a central portion and a border portion, and comprises a backing layer, an adhesive body contact layer and a pad arranged between the backing layer and the adhesive body contact layer. The pad is symmetric about a longitudinal center line and comprises a lobed portion on each side of the center line. The medical dressing comprises a gripping tab which is coplanar with the border portion and which projects outwardly from the border portion. The medical dressing may be used for pressure ulcer prevention, such as at the sacrum region of a human body.

Described herein are systems and apparatuses for enhanced comfort through contact pressure reduction. In particular, the systems and apparatuses disclosed herein prevent or otherwise mitigate pressure by actively orienting a patient over an anatomy-specific pressure-mitigating contact surface on which the patient rests. A pressure-mitigating contact portion of the contact surface includes a plurality of independently pressurized chambers configured in a specific geometric pattern that is designed to mitigate contact pressure between a support surface (e.g., bed or chair) and a specific anatomic region of a patient's body when the specific anatomic region of the patient's body is oriented over an epicenter of the geometric pattern. Additionally, a plurality of elevated side support portions and a wedge interconnected on the base material are configured to actively orient the specific anatomic region of the patient's body over the epicenter of the geometric pattern.

Apparatus and methods for adjusting a support to a body are described in which a portable support assembly may be worn or used by a bed-stricken or wheel-chair restricted individual around particular regions of the body where pressure ulcers tend to form. The portable support assembly may generally include adjustable supports which conform the assembly to the patient's body and which also help to distribute one or more fluid pad assemblies relative to the body. The support assembly may be incorporated into a design for a wheelchair or a bed.

The invention relates to a device for protecting the skin of the human body, including a pad (1) made of a polymer gel comprising an outer protection layer (4), and a surface (21, 31) opposite the outer layer, to be applied on an area of skin to be protected, the pad (1) including a protection portion (2) and at least one adhesive portion (3a, 3b) to be brought into contact with the skin, the protection portion being adapted so as to ensure a mechanical protection of the area to be protected, and the adhesive portion having an adhesion power greater than that of the protection layer in order to maintain said pad on the area to be protected.
